Israel using ambulances to transport troops

According to this article, from the Australian, the Israeli army uses ambulances to transport troops, in clear violation of the Geneva conventions:

"I and other members of my unit saw soldiers with their weapons, bulletproof vests and helmets climbing into military ambulances," one of the reservists said.
"The use of ambulances is against the Geneva Convention which Israel has signed. Moreover, once ambulances are used for military objectives they become a legitimate target," said Doctor Rafi Waldman, a member of the organisation Doctors for Human Rights.
